Surp Agop Armenian Hospital or Saint Jacob Armenian Hospital (Turkish: Surp Agop Ermeni Hastanesi) is a hospital in the Elmadağ neighborhood of Şişli district of Istanbul which was established in 1837 and continues to be operated by the Armenian community of Turkey.[1][2]
The hospital was widely noted before and after the World War I for its work. Using the names of the districts of the time it was known as "The hospital Sourp-Agop of Pancaldi above Pera."[3][4][5][6][7] Armenian fundraising for the hospital continued after the World War II.[8] Today it is a private hospital which caters also to the Turkish Social Security Agency (Sosyal Güvenlik Kurumu - SGK) continuing to serve the public in Istanbul.[1]
